Eight people have been killed in a collision between a helicopter and a light plane near an Austrian ski slope, local officials have said.
The crash happened late morning in the ski resort of Zell am See, central Austria, the Red Cross said.

The transport helicopter had seven people on board and was reportedly carrying equipment to a power plant.

The plane had only the pilot on board and had taken off from Zell am See airport, an employee there said.
